Smokin’ Ed is constantly experimenting with new pepper crosses, so naturally, the Apollo pepper was born from this practice. And speaking of sauces that make the return again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again again again again again again… Da Bomb at number eight. If there's one thing that you can count on in a forever changing and uncertain world, it's that Da Bomb will hold on to its eighth spot. And here it is, in Season 22, once again. Da Bomb Beyond Insanity . The result, a relatively flat flavor with explosive heat and not much else. This isnt necessarily bad, since some people use hot sauce to add heat to meals without changing the flavor. However, my recommendation to them would be to grow fresh peppers and use those instead much more rewarding. Can You Cook With It On that note in wake of the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii last month multi-season Hot Ones alum Adoboloco sprung into action donating proceeds from the sauce to help residents in need.

So I want to give a shout out to Adoboloco and of course rescue efforts are ongoing so if you're interested or you can help support, please see the link below me in the description of this video.

Putting that in culinary perspective, the current official hottest pepper in the world, the Carolina Reaper, runs from 1.4 million to 2.2 million Scoville heat units. So the Apollo chili could easily double its heat. Versus another super-hot, the ghost pepper (roughly 800,000 to 1,000,000 SHU): The Apollo would be triple its spiciness.I loved this sauce, but if you don’t like sweet sauces, it may not be for you. Some have said that it even goes well on ice cream. We didn’t get a chance to try that, but our bottle didn’t last long. Smokin’ Ed Currie is who we have to thank for the intense, fiery heat of The Last Dab. His ‘Pepper X’ pepper hybrid produces incredibly high capsaicin levels. It is expected that this new pepper variety will become the new world’s hottest pepper within the next year or so. In this article, we’ll rank some of the most popular hot sauces on the Scoville scale from mild to insanely hot.

At 3.18 million Scoville units, Pepper X eclipses the already fiery Dragon’s Breath by more than 500,000 units. Again, to put things in perspective, the everyday jalapeño maxes out at a lowly 10,000 on the Scoville scale, meaning Pepper X is around 300 times as spicy. With that said, the sauce has an interesting aroma. It smells savory with a slight hint of carrots, almost like a savory vegetable stew. Given the limited ingredients, we can really only attribute this to the Apollo pepper itself.

The all-new Last Dab Apollo shares the same recipe as The Constrictor, only using Ed Currie’s elusive ‘Apollo’ pepper in place of the Reapers. We have tried both, and The Constrictor is hotter.

Now this sauce was a total surprise. I frequently enjoy watching Johnny Scoville eat preposterous amounts of fresh superhot peppers on his YouTube channel. Finally, he released his first branded hot sauce: Pineango. The recipe is almost identical (and flavors are very similar), swapping out standard Pepper X Peppers with 3 different Pepper X varieties in one bottle. The Last Dab has been touted as the hottest sauce that First We Feast has ever produced. Full of three all-new Pepper X varieties, from the original to Chocolate Pepper X and Peach Pepper X peppers. This means serious heat.The sauces we’ve decided to rank cover the entire range of spiciness. From common diner hot sauces like tabasco all the way to Mad Dog 357 pure extract. They said topping Smokin' Ed's Carolina Reaper wouldn't happen, but if anyone could, it's Ed. I'm extremely proud to be a part of this history in the making," says Heatonist Founder Noah Chaimberg. It’s obvious to say, if you ever got your hands on one, great care would need to be taken: gloves, cooking glasses, and even masks are necessary here to not experience what would be an ungodly level of chili burn. What do Apollo peppers look like? Ed Currie began the cross-breeding that led to Pepper Xs creation in 2007, as noted in a Heatonist interview Extreme hot sauces all suffer on usability some, as often they are simply heat sources for foods.
